Blarney United 2 Midleton 0 U13

U13 Premier Blarney United V Midleton Blarney United 2 Midleton 0 Today was a case of getting the job done to setup a top of table clash against Corinthian in O Shea Park on the 3rd of January. We were up against a resiliant Midleton team who let in few goals. We started brightly and after 3 minutes we were awarded a free kick when Jack O Keefe was fouled about 30 yards out from Midleton goal.Up stepped our captain Andrew McCarty to kick a lovely shot into the top corner to give us an early lead. This settled us well and for the next 10 minutes we dominated posession but were unable to add to our tally.With 20 minutes gone in the game Blarney were forced to make an early substitution when Scott Forrest had to come off injured and was replaced by Kelvin O Donoghue. Midleton to their credit weathered this storm and kept it to 1-0 for the rest of the half. The second half saw Blarney create more chances but again were finding it hard to shake off this Midleton team. A good chance fell to Kelvin o Donoghue when he made a good run into the Midleton box only to shot narrowly wide. Then with 15 minutes to go Ronan o Brien cut in from the left to get a shot off which hit the post and a good run into the box from Josh Roberts to pick up the rebound and make it 2-0.This killed off the Midleton challenge and Blarney maitain their 100% record from 11 games. Best for Blarney were Andrew McCarty Josh Roberts and Oisin o Brien. Well done lads !!!!!!!
